Saucony Hattori AW - Men’s

The Basics

Runner’s World Review

The Jazz is a great shoe if you want to run to 2003 and back. It's built around an old-school approach to a cushioning shoe, with quite a bit of heft in a heel that's high off the ground. Saucony updated the shoe's upper to make it more aesthetically pleasing and added some volume in the toebox, which turned off some testers. Still, the comfortable ride and heel fit of the Jazz makes it a good deal for the price. Recommended for lightweight runners who have mid to high arches and are looking for a basic, no-nonsense trainer.

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
